Hello all,
I currently have a fast four bar midi sequence made up of notes on most steps over two midi channels. I want to p-lock a cc change on the third bar. Of course, when p-locking a singular step, the following steps return to the value set for that part.
To save me going in and editing each step, I was wondering if there was a way to have the values set on that step to somewhat overwrite the value for the part until another p-lock occurs? If it were a separate pattern, I could obviously use parts, but as this occurs in the same pattern thats not possible.
One way I can think of is to live record, setting the params to what I desire and moving the 3rd bar to the first (so it doesn’t overwrite the whole pattern). Does anyone know a less clunky way of doing this?
I’m not sure of what you want precisely.
You can set midi tracks settings with external midi if CC Direct Connect is off, and change default CC value.
You can use midi loopback with a track with midi channel set to autochannel and control another selected track.
To make it clearer, my intentions are to have a cc parameter at its set level for that part for the first 3 bars, then when p-locked have every step that follows the plocked step to stay on the value I p-locked it to.
Although im not sure if this or any kind of workaround other that what I’ve mentioned is possible, this would save having to p-lock every single step to the new value.
What about 2 x 2 bars chained patterns, or looped in Arranger, with different parts ?
Thanks, that is an option, although ideally the same pattern would be good if there is any kind of way to do this?
As I wrote above, clear as mud I admit, you can change default CC values from external midi, or midi loopback.
Don’t know if it can be helpfull, but you can use a track with autochannel that would control another tracks CCs values.
MIDI MODE CTRL CHANGE MAPPINGS
While in MIDI mode and CC DIRECT CONNECT is deactivated, the auto channel responds to the following CC messages.

Yeah, no direct way, a standard trig always kicks in all the edit page values…
You can copy/paste trigs or entire sequence pages… Might save a little time over plocking each one…

Ah ok, this seems interesting, thanks.
So just to clarify, I would turn CC Direct connect off, create a midi track for the autochannel, then how exactly do I assign this to the editing of a particular midi track?
From my former tests, this would work with the active track only…
Experimenting this again is not my priority tonight !
